who is monet?
So this again, is just a quick introduction for all of my readers who may or may not know me personally. My name is Alleiah (monet is my middle name), I’m Apostolic, and I am 25 years old. I am single (clearly) with no kids, but I do have two adorable nieces, Amori and A’nya, ages 2 and 1 respectively, whom I love and miss so much (thanks, quarantine). I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO, which is also where I currently reside. I’m kind of a nerd—I have my Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a minor in accounting and I recently enrolled into Lindenwood University’s Master’s of Accountancy program, which I’ll be beginning in about three weeks (pray for me). I have a weird love for numbers, I’ve always naturally been good with them and have a strong desire of making a career out of it. I currently work full-time for the federal government as a Contact Rep for one of the most-feared agencies in the U.S. (take a guess, lol), for which I have a love/hate relationship. The benefits as they all say, are great. The work? Eh, let’s just say, I won’t be there for long. Nevertheless, it was a door God opened for me when I desperately needed it and I am beyond grateful and honored to do the work that I do. It’s given me direction for my future, along with experience in my field that was hard to find after completing undergrad, and I intend to do great things with it. It’s just the beginning for me.
Furthermore, I attend New Destiny Worship Center, only the best church in the St. Louis area. I’ve been a member for two and a half years now and I honestly couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. God knew exactly what I needed, when I needed it, and I am grateful that I get to call it home. I didn’t necessarily “grow up” in the church, however I have always known of and believed in God. When I got to college, I became more intentional with finding a way to learn more, yet it wasn’t until 2017 when I really began to build my own personal relationship with Him. For years, there was always a voice in the back of my mind but I didn’t really know how to tap into it. I grew up in a single parent home, where church or practicing faith was not really a priority, so as I got older, I found myself conforming to the ways of the world in an effort to find my place. Nevertheless, after graduating college, some things just weren’t fun anymore, and I needed to find a new way of living. And gracefully enough, I found that the moment I stepped foot in to New Destiny. Within just a few weeks, I surrendered my life to Christ, was baptized in the Name of Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues, and the rest is pretty much history. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve grown and changed a lot and I’m looking forward to seeing how much more God is going to do through me.
Soo, who is monet, you ask? She’s a young, devoted, aspiring, black (Christian) woman, who’s now building her life off of faith and love. She may have grown up without her father, in the most crime-filled area of St. Louis city, however, she did not settle for what the world had to offer her. It took her some time to find her purpose, but fear not, it was all a part of God’s plan. She has dreams of becoming an author, a public speaker, and a business owner. Not to mention, a wife and a mother too, at some point of course, haha. She enjoys things like reading/writing, singing in the choir, traveling with her close friends, exercising, and hanging out with her family. Lastly, she’s had her fair share of trials and tribulations, and surely there will be more to come, however, she’s committed to sharing her stories in hopes to encourage girls and women alike that they too, can be over-comers. So stay tuned! Because she’s destined for greatness.
Annnnnd yeah lol, that’s just a reaaaal quick overview of my story. For more details, feel free to check out my older, older blogs. Again, I just wanted to briefly introduce myself to my new readers and to also make the announcement that I will be starting a new, three-part, blog series, this Friday, titled, * drum roll please * . . . the aftermath. After my last series, you may have wondered what happened next. So, in the aftermath, I’ll be giving a little insight on life after a breakup and how I navigated through the emotions that would soon rise to the surface.
Until next time . .
